Baya is one of the few hotels smack on the oceanfront in the Landes region. From the ocean-facing rooms, you'll practically feel the waves crash into one of the coast's top surf spots. Rooms are modern, expansive and super-comfortable, and the restaurant serves creative seasonal menus, which means you needn't leave the grounds! Prices plummet in low season.
